Thought that this book would be better than it was. Kept flipping between multiple major characters, several young college students/young aristocrats, and a family of three girls. The situation just seems to go downhill for all the characters and I was hoping for more forward momentum. The planet has a strange day/night cycle, astronomy, and witches/magicians, but otherwise is very similar to elements of Regency England social norms and lifestyle. Some strong minor characters, but slogged thru parts of the book.
